IMPROVEMENT IN COIN-PACKAGES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 202,893, dated April 23, 1878; application filed April 4, 1878.

.view of such package as partially unfolded.

Fig. 3 exhibits an end view of it with the loop folded. Fig. 4 is a perspective view, and Fig. 5 a section of it as applied to a roll or series of coins.

This coin-package consists of a strap, A, and a loop, B, of strong paper, the loop being extended from the strap at one end of it, in manner as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. Besides these there is an elastic ring, 0, which goes through the loop as one chain-link usually goes through another, such being as represented.

One advantage of this coin-package is that it can be folded or packed into a very small compass, for sale or transportation, preparatory to being used.

In using it the roll of coins is to be inserted within the loop, which answers as a pocket to receive them, after which the strap is to be passed through the loop, and around it and the coins. Next the elastic ring is to be drawn up to the middle of the loop, and around the strap and roll of coins encompassed by it. In Figs. 4 and 5 the coins are shown at C.

This coin-package, made of paper or other suitable substitute, not only can be folded into a small space, but, on being opened, can he used with great advantage for the formation of a rouleau.

I claim 1. As an improved manufacture, the described coin-package, composed of the strap and loop, arranged substantially as set forth.

2. The elastic ring, and the loop and strap, arranged and combined, substantially as and for use as explained.

CHARLES F. TROUT.
